TELNOV D., BUKEJS A., GAILIS J., KALNI ŅŠ M., 2008. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF LATVIAN COLEOPTERA. 7. - Latvijas Entomologs , 46: 47-58.

Abstract: This paper contains information on 25 new (i.e. not included in Telnov 2004 and later faunal publications on Latvian fauna) and 102 little known and protected species in Latvia, collected between 2003 and 2008. The material is stored in collectors’ collections.

Key words: Coleoptera, Latvia, fauna, little-known species.
